That fall, he moved to Burbaby Canadians of the Vancouver Metro League. In February 2000, the Vancouver 86ers selected King in the A-League Draft.[1] he began the 2000 season with Vancouver's reserve team, the Abbotsford 86ers, but joined the first team on June 15, 2000. King would play each summer, outdoor season with Vancouver (renamed the Whitecaps in 2001) until 2003. In the fall of 2000, King went indoors with the Edmonton Drillers of the National Professional Soccer League.
